Stephen Thorning, Elora, Series 8, index cards, ca.1830-2015. SERIES 8: INDEX CARDS, ca.1830-2015. Dr. Thorning created over 2 meters of 3" x 5" index cards. They served to guide him, by date, to references in the newspapers (mainly Elora and Fergus); or they may contain raw data (for example: Lists of Reeves of Elora). The cards have been removed from their oak and metal filing drawers and re-boxed in order, in three acid-free containers - MU 1154 o/s to MU 1156 o/s.
